56 lists to make when life has got you feeling down

When you feel like life has dealt you a bad hand, it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. You might feel like life isn’t going to get any better and that you’re destined to deal with one disappointment after another. The reality is that we often fall into this trap of being chronically unhappy because we aren’t able to look at the glass half-full. We focus on the bad while ignoring the good.

Much of this advice is rather vague and intangible. The good news is the folks over at Hello Peaceful Mind have discovered a really simple and concrete way to help you cheer yourself up.
